New York Boy, 3, Dies From Accident Injuries

STATE

A 3-year-old New York City boy died Sunday, a little more than 24 hours after he was injured in a two-vehicle crash southeast of Orlando.

David John Jr. died about 11 a.m. at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women. His brother, Jason, 9, remained in stable condition Sunday in the hospital.

David John Sr., 39, was driving a van eastbound on the Bee Line Expressway about 9:45 a.m. Saturday when he exited onto State Road 15. He failed to stop, driving into the path of a Jeep driven southbound by Jeffrey Allen Roberts, 23, St. Cloud, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

All five occupants of the van suffered at least minor injuries, as did both occupants of the Jeep.

The accident remains under investigation. No charges had been filed Sunday, the FHP said.
